Strikaholic

StrikAholic was set up after a journey to New York. Dorte Niedziella, designer and owner of StrikAholic, born in Arhus in 1971, became deeply fascinated by the many – often unnoticed – graphic designs originating from items belonging to everyday American life, such as bus tickets. Her fascination kept on growing upon her return home to Denmark and she started exploring bar codes and bus tickets in more detail, wondering how she could make other people notice all these amazing art designs of everyday life. Dorte Niedziella found a way of combining her joy for knitted products with her fascination of everyday graphics when initiating the production of her unique, offbeat and humorous cushions, and StrikAholic was formally established as a company in 2005. The name StrikAholic is constructed by the Danish noun “strik”, meaning knitwear, and the English suffix “aholic” denoting a person addicted to something. The two components in combination form the pun: Strikaholic (i.e. knit-aholic). Today, StrikAholic is known for original designs and high-quality products. The company now offers a broad range of home accessories, including cushions, blankets and table mats.
